Progress Report on the Unglue.it Project.

GtrsRGr8 · 11-01-2018, 03:02 PM

Got an email today from unglue.it, a crowdfunding open access initiative. I'm pulling the following quote from the message. You can find more information at unglue.it:

"All Project Gutenberg Ebooks are now in Unglue.it

Over the past month, the Free Ebook Foundation’s GITenberg program has rebuilt and refreshed over 57,000 ebooks from Project Gutenberg, and has loaded them into Unglue.it. These books are mostly in the Public Domain. They join our collection of about 7000 open-licensed books that are still in-copyright. As a result of the growth of our free ebook collection, we recently passed the million-downloads mark, including half a million reflowable EPUB or Kindle texts. Unglue.it metadata is automatically updated using a system devised by a team of students from Stevens Institute of Technology.

GITenberg is a prototype project that explores how Project Gutenberg might work if all the Gutenberg texts were on Github . . . ."
